This rank does not clarify ‘coming.’ If a Buddha appears in the world, it is thus; if a Buddha does not appear in the world, it is also thus. Therefore, all the thousands and myriads of sages return to the correct rank to take charge of it.” In a discrimination made on another occasion, it was said: “Bias within the correct possesses this single rank; above all, you must not stir it.” > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.82](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1987a.1.82) - [Next: 1.84](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1987a.1.84) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1987a.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1987a~en-mt.1.83) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [撫州曹山本寂禪師語錄](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1987b.2.19) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1987a.1.83](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1987a.1.83) · Pramāṇa
